As this thesis is exploring ‘void’ as an object, a lesson in the fundamentals of ‘figure and ground’ is necessary to distinguish or consider the contradiction of empty space as a physical object. The Gestalt notion of the figure-ground phenomenon refers to the characteristic organisation of perception into a figure that “stands out” against a neutral background. (Merrill, 2010) Human beings interact with objects - positive figures - where empty or ‘void’ space is, by default, normally characterised

During his discussion with Socrates, Euthyphro agrees with much of Socrates reasoning regarding the property of the pious acts and the God-Loved acts. One of these many concessions is that “the Gods love the pious act because it is pious”. This concession ultimately leads to Socrates defeating Euthyphro’s claim. Therefore, Euthyphro should have answered slightly different than just a defeated “yes”. Instead of agreeing to Socrates claims between the god loved acts and the acts that God loves, Euthyphro

Defining what the good life is can be a daunting task; however, defining what the good life is not is remarkably easier. While many people’s definition of the good life differ, they may agree more on what does not determine the good life. George Santayana wrote, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” suggesting that one of the best ways to learn is to look at others’ errors. Sophocles’s Antingone and the story of Mike Webster’s sports injury provide two key warnings of what

Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling is an interpretation of the scriptural story of Abraham and his son Isaac. This account from Genesis involves God commanding Abraham to leave his home for an unknown land where he will, by way of a forthcoming son, become the father of a great nation. Time elapses well past the point when Abraham could father a son, but God holds to His promise and Isaac is miraculously born. God then demands Abraham offer up Isaac in sacrifice and Abraham, without hesitation

I believe that many tenets of religious belief are in direct opposition to moral codes that protect the rights of others, embrace diversity, enhance the progress of society and promote the equality and well-being of all persons. Both mine and Kevin’s family reserve their faith in evangelical Christian denominations and observe their scriptures and doctrines strictly. These distinct moral views are often incompatible, and when they do butt heads it’s usually better to ‘agree to disagree’. In a case

If I hosted a Psychology and Christian Life Seminar, the three studies I would present are stereotypes, the self-serving bias, and the cognitive dissonance theory. I would reflect on how these studies correspond with our human nature and how they affect our spiritual lives. Christians are saved by Jesus, but we still continue to sin like the rest of the world. These studies relate to us and to society as a whole. We are to avoid certain behaviors related to these behaviors and improve our Christ-like

Why do you think I assigned this reading? While reading the article, I could not help but reflect on my own beliefs, rituals, practice and culture in general. I have come to the conclusion that just as I am comfortable practicing what I believe in, and find comfort in doing so, so are the Nacirema people. As each one of us grows practicing traditions/ rituals, passed on from generation to generation we become used to the " normalcy" of our culture. We do not consider the perspective of an outsider
